Assuming this is for "issues encountered when trying to get an IP address for the virtual adapter when using the SonicWALL Global VPN Client"

A subnet is a logical group of networked devices. All the devices in same subnet will be able to communicate directly with each other without the need of Routing (Layer 3) device. A subnet will let you know (limit) the maximum HOSTS that you can have on a single logical network.

When it says that "Make sure that the SonicWALL LAN subnet and workstation IP address are not in the same subnet." it mean, the IP addresses assigned to workstation should not be in same logical range assigned to Sonic Wall.
** You should not be able to ping from Workstation to Sonic Wall (provided there is no routing device in between them)

Eg: You can assign the following IP address/subnet mask to the workstation.

IP: 192.168.0.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1

In the above case, you have a subnet or /24, and the above network can have a maximum of 254 hosts connected and communicate with each other without the need of a router.

You can assign IPs to 254 devices in the above range and all will be talking to each other without the need of a router (that is what you call subnetting, dividing your network to control unnecessary broadcast and collision domains)

The 254 hosts can have IPs starting from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.255 (all having subnet mask as 255.255.255.0)
Now, the SONIC Wall should not have any IP in the range 192.168.0.X (X-- number from 1 to 255). If you assign any IP from the above range, the Sonic Wall and the Workstation will be on same subnet.

Now, to check whether the IP of workstation and Sonic Wall is in same subnet, you can go the the online subnet calculator and check yourself :)

Enter the IP of your workstation in the first box and the subnet mask in second box, click on calculate.** Once you get the result, make sure that the Sonic Wall IP is not falling between HostMin: and HostMax: (as in the picture below) - HostMin to HostMax defines the IP range for a given network.
